Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium

2 answers:

7 0

It's a tough question as to whether light is a wave or a particle..

The statement is FALSE. Not all types of waves need a medium to propagate. Light can travel without a medium.

Extra Information:
Light is a longitudinal wave, sound is transverse.
Longitudinal waves do not need a medium.
Transverse waves need a medium.
This is why, for example, in the vacuum of space, light travels from stars, but sound does not.

A 60.00-cm guitar string under a tension of 50.000 N has a mass per unit length of 0.100 00 g/cm chegg

Evgen [1.6K]

Fundamental frequency,

f=v2l=T/μ−−−−√2l

=(50)/0.1×10−3/10−22×0.6−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=58.96Hz

Let, n th harmonic is the hightest frequency, then

(58.93)n = 20000

∴N=339.38

Hence, 339 is the highest frequency.

∴fmax=(339)(58.93)Hz=19977Hz.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

In physics, frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in a unit of time as well as the number of cycles or vibrations that a body in periodic motion experiences in a unit of time. After moving through a sequence of situations or locations and then returning to its initial position, a body in periodic motion is said to have experienced one cycle or one vibration. See also simple harmonic motion and angular velocity.

A 90 kg astronaut Travis is stranded in space at a point 12 m from his spaceship. In order to get back to his ship, Travis throw

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a recoil problem, which is just another application of the Law of Momentum Conservation. The equation for us is:

$[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_b=[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_a$ which, in words, is

The momentum of the astronaut plus the momentum of the piece of equipment before the equipment is thrown has to be equal to the momentum of all that same stuff after the equipment is thrown. Filling in:

$[(90.0)(0)+(.50)(0)]_b=[(90.0)(v)+(.50)(-4.0)]_a$

Obviously, on the left side of the equation, nothing is moving so the whole left side equals 0. Doing the math on the right and paying specific attention to the sig fig's here (notice, I added a 0 after the 4 in the velocity value so our sig fig's are 2 instead of just 1. 1 is useless in most applications).

0 = 90.0v - 2.0 and

2.0 = 90.0v so

v = .022 m/s This is the rate at which he is moving TOWARDS the ship (negative was moving away from the ship, as indicated by the - in the problem). Now we can use the d = rt equation to find out how long this process will take him if he wants to reach his ship before he dies.

12 = .022t and

t = 550 seconds, which is the same thing as 9.2 minutes

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.7 m/s rel

mafiozo [28]

Here it is given that speed of migrating Robin is 12 m/s relative to air

so we can say that

$\vec v_{ra} = 12 m/s$ North
